Ohms Law! E=IR Voltage equals current times resistance. Get out the old calculator...

∙ 6y agoThe version of Ohm's we need here is E = IR, so E = 6A x 8 ohms = 48 volts

Voltage = Current * Resistance
Current = 6.2 A Resistance = 18 ohms
Voltage = 6.2 * 18 Volts = 111.6 Volt
Answer: The voltage in the circuit will be 111.6 volts.

How the current in a circuit changes if the voltage in the circuit is decreased and the resistance remains the same?
If the ratio of voltage to current is constant, then the circuit is obeying Ohm's Law. If the ratio changes for variations in voltage, then the circuit does not obey Ohm's Law.
What is external resistance?
External voltage is the ration when there is an increase in current and voltage. If you apply voltage to the outside of a circuit and need to figure out the amount of current flow, that would be the external resistance.
A circuit has an applied voltage of 100 volts and a resistance of 1000 ohms What is the current flow in the circuit?
A circuit has an applied voltage of 100 volts and a resistance of 1000 ohms. The current flow in the circuit is 100v/1000ohms which would equal .1.
How is current related to resistance in a circuit?
Ohm's law: voltage is current times resistance. Restating this; current is voltage divided by resistance, so increasing resistance would decrease current.
Why would never measure resistance in a circuit carrying a current?
If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.
If you double both the voltage and the resistance in a circuit what would be the effect on the current?
If you double the voltage in a circuit, the power is quadrupled, assuming the resistance stays the same.
How the current in a circuit changes if the voltage in the circuit is decreased and the resistance remains the same?
If the ratio of voltage to current is constant, then the circuit is obeying Ohm's Law. If the ratio changes for variations in voltage, then the circuit does not obey Ohm's Law.
Does the current generates if there is no resistance in the circuit?
You can have current without resistance. You would just have zero voltage drop across that zero resistance.However, the question is very interesting, because if you really had zero resistance in the entire circuit, it would be impossible to have any voltage at all without generating an infinite current, so the answer in the theoretical case is no, you can have no current, nor voltage, if there is no resistance at any point in the circuit.
What is external resistance?
External voltage is the ration when there is an increase in current and voltage. If you apply voltage to the outside of a circuit and need to figure out the amount of current flow, that would be the external resistance.

Describe how a change in resistance would affect the current in a circuit?
As long as the voltage between the ends of the circuit remains constant, the current through the circuit is inversely proportional to the total effective resistance of the circuit.
Will voltage or current be higher in a circuit during short circuit?
Since a short circuit is, essentially, a zero impedance connection between nodes, the current in a short circuit is limited only by the ability of the source. In the case of an ideal voltage source connected to an ideal short circuit, you would have infinite amperes.
Why would never measure resistance in a circuit carrying a current?

Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?
Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.
Does current effect the resistance in an electric series circuit?
The resistance remains constant. The voltage would change, in accordance with Ohms' law, with a change in current.
Would it be true to say that current causes voltage?
Volts = Current x Resistance. The voltage is where the potential resides for the amount of current flowing through a resistance. Think about the voltage as a potential source of electrons that then flow through a circuit depending on the Load, or resistance in this example.
